Brandon- First year it wasnt as fast becouse when we bricked it we got the brick too far back and it impeded the draft quite a bit must be. Last year when Jerry and Mike came down it wasnt working good at all so we raised the flue pan up and cleaned the flues out good and removed some bricks and it made a huge difference. Im pretty sure that must be about what its doing becouse like I said at two gallons a minute it seems to match the ro. Im pretty sure if Im putting around 20 Percent stuff in there Im getting around 20 gallons of syrup an hour give or take. Honestly Ive never really watched the clock to see exactly becouse were usually scrambling with everything going on. This year it should be much more relaxed with the big press and the autodraw. I was changing papers left and right just to keep up before. Theron

Tap count
Terrion,
Tap count is looking a little low in your signature....

I have a guy hired to turn off Therons vacuum pumps once a day so I can get a bit of sap. Just don't tell him about it. He will just figure he had a break down everyday all season.
We just have to watch for the post's in a few weeks of what all happens.

Posts??
Heck last year once the season started we didn't hear from him but maybe once a week or everyother week!
-
Soon he won't rub elbows with us at all when he makes his first million and has about every tree in his county tapped!
-
He doesn't have every tree tap?
What the heck has he been up to then?

Probly never see that first million Brandon. Id still rub elbows with you guys though. My only concern about money is that I have enough. Was going to sleep in this morning but 0330 up and couldnt get back to sleep. Hoping to hook up my vac pump tonight. Once thats done things are going to start coming on line. Been helping my buddy with his setup. He has 260 taps and I have a sp11 fixed up for him and a glass bowl releaser. We tried the releaser and it works like a charm. Im pretty impressed with that thing. Ive also got a sp22 that was junk that Ive been trying to fix up just to see If I could and I think were going to have that finished this week too so I may have him use that. I think Im going to start tapping things in in stages starting with the taps that the sun hits first. I want the my pump operable so I can find leaks as Im tapping. I know its going to freeze right back up but thats fine becouse thatll give me time to get things finetuned. Id like to get a little sap to test things in the shed and have things turn key in there. Thats my biggest goal is to get a real efficient proceedure in there. I know I can get sap my biggest problem is always to process it. If money was no object it would be much easier I know but it is to me so I have to do things as I feel I can afford to. Id love to have a new evap and a new 1800 gallon ro but thats a lot of money at once. When I do buy new equipment its going to be big. Id like to have two 1800 gallon ro's and an oil fired evap that would keep up with them. Theron

Theron will tap a million long before it profits him a million:)

I wonder does Theron have a beard. Just seems like he should have a beard.

Theron let me know before you get frustrated and dump sap this year, I would probably buy some.:)
